22 min - I'm learning from my mistakes...
Mama Bean shares the shock behind getting an award-worthy Christmas product featured in a beloved magazine, plus the eye-watering fees, affiliate schemes and paid placement mechanics that quietly shape what ends up in print. She also pulls back the curtain on the reality of working as a content creator while running a business and parenting at full speed. From brand approval cycles and compliance edits to filming across seasons, wearing the same outfit for weeks, and trying to juggle deadlines around family life, this episode is a brutally honest look at how much effort goes into “simple” ads and UGC content.
Mama Bean also opens up about the chaos of back-to-school season, the avalanche of WhatsApp groups and club sign-ups, and the mental load that comes with being the planner in a family where nothing ever stays neatly under control. It’s funny, candid, and unexpectedly eye-opening if you’ve ever wondered how businesses get featured in glossy magazines or what content creators are really navigating behind the scenes. Essential listening if you’re a small business owner, a creator, or anyone who’s ever looked at a magazine feature and assumed it happened by chance.

About Whisks, wins and wipeouts
From the publisher's feed
Whisks, Wins & Wipeouts is the podcast for women navigating the beautifully messy reality of midlife, motherhood and entrepreneurship.
Hosted by Charlotte…
Giddings, award-winning founder of family bakery Brownie and the Bean, each episode serves up honest conversations about building a business, raising a family and trying to hold it all together without losing your sense of humour.
Forget the "six-figure mornings" and picture-perfect success stories. This is the place for the real moments: the wins worth celebrating, the wipeouts we'd rather forget, and the lessons we learn somewhere in between.
From seasonal business chaos and Christmas madness to confidence, perimenopause, parenting, resilience and the everyday juggle of running a company while living a full life, nothing is off the table.
Whether you're an entrepreneur, dreaming of becoming one, or simply trying to navigate this season of life with a little more confidence, you'll find practical advice, honest stories and plenty of laughs along the way.
So put the kettle on, grab a brownie (it would be rude not to) and join Charlotte every week for a conversation that feels more like a catch-up with a friend than a business podcast.
Because life isn't about getting every recipe right, it's about celebrating the wins, learning from the wipeouts, and finding joy in the whisking.
